Natural Sciences and Mathematics

The Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences offers undergraduate instructional programs for students interested in science, engineering, and health careers with opportunities for rigorous learning and research experiences through the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer and Information Science, Mathematics, and Physics. The Division also offers five-year accelerated BS/MS degree programs in Biology, Chemistry, Computer and Information Science, Mathematics and Physics and provides interdisciplinary and interdepartmental major sequences to students with potential for a strong, science curriculum. The Division manages and monitors programs in Dual Degree in Engineering (DDEP), Pharmacy, and the Early Admission to Boston University Medical School and provides courses for departments outside both the Division and the University.

Programs in the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences are designed to develop students' capacities for scientific and analytical work and to ensure that all students are well prepared for their chosen career fields. Descriptions of these programs are provided under the respective departmental headings. Several scholarships are available for programs within the Division.
